PPP2 - STUDIO BRIEF 1 - JFK PRINT

To mark the 50th anniversary of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s assassination I created a conspiracy themed screen-print poster.

The print features a quote taken from ‘The Ends of Power’ by H.R Haldeman which reads:

“After Kennedy was killed, the CIA launched a fantastic cover-up. Many of the facts about Oswald unavoidably pointed to a Cuban connection…..In a chilling parallel to their cover-up at Watergate, the CIA literally erased any connection between Kennedy’s assassination and the CIA.”

The type has been pixelated to make it illegible and has been printed with thermochromc ink so that the information disappears when heat is applied. The concept reflects the destruction of information and consequent cover-up that was conducted by the CIA with regards to Kennedy's assassination.

I have posted the project on my Behance profile to help me gains some exposure.
